1 Today asynchronous systems dominate using Web technology
2 For synchronous delivery, Tango 2 is about as good as you can do with current browsers -- compatible with major asynchronous mode
3 When W3C DOM fully supported and XML is well established, we can evolve Tango and Shared Browser to provide richer interactive shared Web Pages
4 Universal Access for different devices (Fully capable and impaired users) from PalmTops to PC's
5 Greater use of XML Web components for both content and for specification of collaboration policy
6 Integration of asynchronous and Synchronous messaging Services (Tango supports Pagers Palmtops etc.)
7 Integration of Tango and Database backends to provide "Portals to Education"
